DC added to workgroup now has problems

Perhaps I'm nuts (my coworkers can add to this...) but I cannot seem
to get our department AD server to work properly on this new network.
Here's the scenario:

We have a general workgroup network at the office. After consolidating
two offices I added office #2's AD server to the LAN. Since the main
office has a DHCP server I set up our clients to use static IP
addresses (as we need to have the clients point to the AD server for
DNS) I manually configured DNS and addresses for our part of the LAN.
But now I get all sorts of errors on the server (like cannot determine
the name of a computer or user, sometimes the Backup Exec service just
shuts down.)

Is there something I'm missing on adding this to the network properly?
Are there changes I need to make to have this operate properly in a
workgroup LAN?

I'm lost...
